3UROTRIP 7/11

granada spain


today is thursday and today is alhambra day, we visit the famous palace of granada up on the hill and the main big attraction of this city. It is huge, it's almost like a city with a ton of gardens and palaces and castles and viewpoints overlooking the rest of the city on that hill.

 - woke up at 8 am ate two pieces of bread with butter and milk. Our meeting point was the alhambra ticket office at 9 am, me and ian were planning on walking or bus there

 - then at like 8:25 AM or something klein goes "ALRIGHT I BOOK AN UBER IT COME IN 5 MINUTES, IF YOU WANT TO COME THEN BE DOWN IN 5 MINUTES" so then I'm just like wtf and rush everything and get down in time and make the uber lesgo. 

 - alhambra was very cool, i wish i could share my photos but i didnt get the time to get things sorted out, idk how to share it but i posted this on my story


ian took it and i knew i had to get one after seeing those flags. It goes EU flag, andalusia flag, spain flag, and then granada flag. It was kinda crowded so I got a bit lucky with no one in the frame.

 - There were also a ton of like pond swamp things and there were like spiders gliding on them and there were frogs and there were lily pads and there were flies and wasps everywhere around it, but it was really cool to see the frog the frogs are cute.
 - Yea my favorite part of it was the castle and the viewpoint where you could really just get a holistic 360 view of the entire city. I could point out the areas in town, i spotted the big cathedral in granada, the ciencias building, and just noticing little details and stuff. It's so nice that viewpoint is seriously stunning, especially after living here for like 3 weeks.
 - at like 1 pm we left the alhambra and i rested a bit, ate lunch which was alright it was a soup thing and then egg, jamon, two different types of chorizo or sausage, potatoes, and pork. And then the strawberry smoothie thing
 - then after lunch I took a nap from like 4-5:40 which was crazy that was a good nap especially since I didn't sleep much the day before
 - Then me and Ian went back to the alhmabra since our tickets would work all-day until 8 pm when it closes. We just visited the places in the garden that we didn't go with our group and also some other areas, it was really cool, the garden is cool and the swamps are cool. I wish I could share the photos and vids, I took a lot on my gopro too.
 - Then we made the long walk home, on the way back I bought a smoothie for 5 euros they just blended up some strawberries and pomegranite and water it was def healthy and hydrating. It was a long walk cuz the alhambra is on a hill so it was so steep walking up and then down.
 - then we ate dinner, croqueta and a salad with croutons, it was good i like the croquetas, i remember at first croqueta was the first meal we had at the homstay and i thought it was just ok but now i like them a lot, they grew on me. Also a banana yogurt afterwards
 - Then after dinner I just did nightime routine things, im gonna go to bed somewhat early it is 11:58 PM as I'm wrapping this post up, im gonna wake up at like 6:40 AM tomorrow or something to take a bus to the sierra nevada national park. Tomorrow will be last day in Granada :') wow it has flew by

(no photo albumsorry)

Fire alarm in the dorm

  Something crazy, something memorable, and something hilarious happened yesterday.  So 11/6/23, let's do the typical day diary type stuff.  Here's what happened on November 6th  - It was a Monday, and usually I do push day on Mondays but I was super sore from running on Saturday and spending 3 hrs at the gym on Sunday playing basketball and doing pull day.   - So I woke up at 9:50 AM, got ready, and I didn't have a smoothie ready for this morning so I cut myself an apple and a banana and that was my breakfast. While this happened I checked canvas and my professor sent out an announcement that today's lecture was gonna be online again because she was still feeling sick.  - SO I took my lecture at my desk and it is harder to focus for sure but I still got it done because like she moves at a pretty fast pace in her lecture you always have to be on top of your game.  - After lecture, I think I chilled for a while and cubed a bit or something, but then I ordered grubhub to

casual productive tuesday + arian's slug story

 Today is Tuesday and here I am wrapping up how the day went. It was fairly uneventful I would say.   - Woke up at like 7:50 AM and got ready. I literally stopped telling myself to pull up to this class on time because there really is no need to and it feels so good to press that snooze button  - And so I went to my 8 AM class until 9:35 AM. I put in one earbud and litearlly finished my reading reflection due on Thursday during class which felt super satisfying. Literally that class is so soothing sometimes to do work because its just kids yapping making a nice environment for me to do work  - Then I went back to my room and did some cubing until around 10:50 AM  - Then I left at 10:50 AM cuz Jackson was coming back today at 11:20 AM and I don't wanna deal with his mom being in the room lol so I guess that means a very early lunch for me.  - After lunch I took a bike down to McHenry library. At this point it was like 12:00 PM. I stayed at the library for 2 hours where I wrote this

capitola on a peculiar saturday | DAY

10/21/23 DAY post So it's Saturday and I'm not home for the weekend. Let's run down what I did today, because it was quite a unique day.  - I wanna do a codeforces contest at 4 AM tomorrow  - Thus, I slept at 5 AM and woke up at 11 AM today, to kinda skew my sleep schedule or whatever  -  I went on like a bike ride and went to andres' room and went on omegle, thats how I killed the time to sleep at 5 AM  - So with the preface out of the way, let'st alk about today.  - SO 11 AM jackson's alarm woke me up, I was planning on waking up later but its whatever. He went home for the weekend.   - I drank a smoothie with strawberries, blueberries, and milk for breakfast. That stuff was pretty good tbh. I got a blender bottle and I have a code to the kitchen co-op so I use their blender to blend it, cuz the blender bottle cant blend strawberries cuz itsl iterally jsut a spring, it can only like mix soft things  - Then me, Raymon, Matthew, and Andres took an uber to Capito
